PunkKitty Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 I spent some time with my H150 and my H155 Millennium this morning. I played both through my Marshall combo. The verdict? The H150 sounds awesome. It has a fairly chunky neck carve. I installed a set of Gibson Burstbuckers in it. It's heavy for me at 8.8 pounds. But the neck is soooo comfortable. The Millie is stock with Seths. I like the Seths better than the Burstbuckers. They sound more open to me. But they feed back easier because they aren't potted. The Millie sounds more hollow because it is hollow. Mine doesn't have f holes. Overall the feel is very similar to the H150. The sounds I can get from it are on par with the H150. The neck carve is a bit thinner than the H150 but it is still comfortable for me. But I prefer the chunkier neck of the 150. This one weighs 7.4 pounds so it's much easier on my back. So I'm debating if I should sell the H150 or not. I know mine is light for a 150. But that 1.4 pounds makes a difference. And I've been playing the Millie more than the 150. I'd consider buying Number 8's Millie and installing different pickups or a 535 to replace it. But I think the bottom line for me is that I prefer semis to solids. I love the 150. I'm just starting to think that it's not right for me. Ideally I'd love a Millie with the 150 neck. But getting something custom made is not going to happen any time soon. Another option is to just sell the 150 and not buy anything else. I have a chambered Les Paul Studio with a 50s neck and P90s that is quite nice. Do I really need the 150 too?

kidsmoke Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 No. I don't think you need both. Sell the H150. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millennium Maestro Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 As a self professed HOARDER, If you need too sell... If you want to Sell... If there is no desire, impulse or need...

PunkKitty Posted October 2, 2013 Author Share Posted October 2, 2013 You've had your eye on that 150 since I got it, Kip. You have the first option to buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockabilly69 Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Punk Kitty. It seems to me that you do a lot of guitar buying/selling and that's coming from someone who does the same:) I would try the Seth's in the H150 before I dumped it. That light of an H150 is a rare thing. I would also play both in a band setting for more than just a few gigs before I would make that decision!!!!

Billgelder Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Don't sell unless you have to. It will not go down in value. It's like money in the bank. Only sell it if you need the cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kidsmoke Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 that's alright. Truth be told, no one is more generous sharing skill and even guitars than PK, and whether I take ownership or not, I'd be able to enjoy this guitar. I've purchased two other guitars from PK, and want nothing more than to see her happy with her collection. In fact I take great pride in that fact that I brought her to Heritage with my fanboy rantings over suds in a Chicago tavern.....which she initially raised an eyebrow at. Now look at her! I'll happily enable any direction she chooses. PK, maybe you should just store it at my place for a while, so you can "roleplay" life without it.....

Oh yes, you DO need it and Kidsmoke DOES NOT need another Heritage guitar, I assure you.....LOL. Didn't you see that photo taken at PSP6 of me delivering a knockout blow to his head? He was trying to wrestle one of my Heritage's out of my possession.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fxdx99 Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Good luck to the trade-trio here. Hope works for all of you. That IS one light 150 you have, Monica. Maybe the lightest non-LW 150 I've heard of? I've a 9.2lb 150 that I thought was light. And a 9 even LP. They 'feel' the same that close. Love love love that 150-style when I wanna dial in some Brothers and Sisters era Betts tone. Semis get close... they've their own thing going on that I just love for the blues - that 'airier' sound they have. The choices, the different finishes, subtle nuances of voicing... aren't guitars the best hobby ever? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houndhome Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 I thought that was sex,but there are days when guitars come a close second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HANGAR18 Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 That store down the road from me (Action Music in Falls Church Virginia) might still have that Millie (Natural finish) with F-holes on consignment. Also, I've found that my perception of a particular guitar can change over TIME, so if the 150 is still sort of new to you, maybe you might want to think about it a little longer. Just some ideas for you to kick around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
